Description: Florence Lawrence (1886-1938)was the first film player whose name was used to promote her films and the studio for which she worked.Before her,actors and actresses worked anonymously,partly out of fear that stage managers would refuse to hire them if they were found to be working in films and partly because movie executives didn't want to put much money into the production of these short,practically disposable films,and didn't want their players to become well known and start demanding higher salaries. Lawrence was on the stage from age three.About 1910,she made the 1st personal appearance of a film star in St. Louis and the resulting publicity made her famous. After a stage accident in which she injured her back,she retired from films,only to be lured back in 1916 for her first feature.It was unsuccessful. She tried a comeback again in 1921;that, too,was unsuccessful.She settled into bit parts and character roles through the 1920s and 1930s.She committed suicide in 1938 after years of unhappiness and illness.

Description: Ruth Chatterton (in 1912) (1892-1961)She was a dignified, sophisticated, brittle, blonde leading lady. At age 12, she debuted on stage in a stock production, reached Broadway by age 18, then triumphed at 20 as the star of Daddy Long Legs. She didn't break into films until her mid-30s, starting with Sins of the Fathers (1928). She was subsequently nominated for "Best Actress" Oscars for her work in Madame X (1929) and Sarah and Son (1930), but is perhaps best remembered as Walter Huston's spoiled, selfish wife in Dodsworth (1936), after the making of which she left Hollywood. She went on to appear in two British productions, then retired from the screen. She continued a successful and variety-filled career on the stage, once directing a play but more usually starring in Broadway productions. She authored a Broadway play as well as several novels in the '50s. Chatterton was also a licensed pilot who flew her own plane cross-country. She was married three times, each time to an actor.

Description: Elsa Lanchester (1902-1986)was born in Lewisham,London.Her parents were considered Bohemian,and refused to legalise their union in any conventional way to satisfy the era's conservative society. She studied dance as a child and after the 1st WW she began performing in theatre and cabaret,where she established her career over the following decade.She met the actor Charles Laughton in 1927,and they were married two years later.She began playing small roles in British films.The success of her husband in American films resulted in the couple moving to Hollywood,where she played small film roles.Laughton was by now making films in Hollywood so she joined him there,making minor appearances in David Copperfield (1935) and Naughty Marietta (1935).These and her appearances in British films helped her gain the title role in Bride of Frankenstein (1935),the film for which she is now best remembered. The horror film Willard (1971) was highly successful and one of her last roles was in Murder By Death(1976).

Romantic Lipstick

Sacha0606 — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 05:26:15 -0700

by: Sacha0606

Description: It wasn't until the 16th century, that lipstick became widely used. Queen Elizabeth I, always a trendsetter, invented and popularized the look of blackened lips. Elizabethan-era lipstick was a little bit easier to handle than Cleopatra's - it was made with simple beeswax and plant-derived red dyes. However, by the time Queen Victoria took the throne, makeup in general was deemed unladylike and banished to the level of prostitutes. Yet, actresses were still allowed to wear makeup and, slowly, other women began to gravitate towards it again. In 1884, the history's first modern lipstick was introduced by perfumers in Paris - it was wrapped in silk paper and made with deer tallow, castor oil and beeswax. In the 1920s and '30s, this invention was back in the history books. The popularity of silent films promoted the use of lipstick, as women in the films wore black lipstick. It was also around this time that the first push-up tubes of lipstick were invented. Etc. (sorry, but�)

Description: A long,long time ago,the Earth belonged to the creatures of the wood.By creatures of the wood I mean gnomes,elves,faeries,etc.They tended it and took care of it, played in it,danced and sang in it,cared for wounded animals,worked out disputes between species,sat on mushrooms discussing matters of importance and drinking Labrador tea,rode down streams on leaves and bark,parachuted from trees on dandelion seeds.This was the world into which mankind was born.These early days, when man was but a newly arrived dinner guest who hadn't yet taken over the house,are fairly well documented in the literature and folklore of the world, so there's no need to go into it here.What I am interested in,and what I am asking you to be interested in,is the question,"Where did all the gnomes, elves, faeries, etc. go?"Etc.:sorry! � KIT: �Melancolia� by �Valentina�s Creations�

Description: Coffee has become the most popular drink for Americans everywhere,and it is also hailed to be one of the most valuable commodities in the world.So when you begin to view how many other cultures prefer to drink tea,including the UK and Asia,how do we know which one will win?There is power in numbers.Coffee is claimed to be sipped regularly by over 50% of all Americans at about 4 cups a day.Where did that deviate from the influence of the Boston Tea Party in the 1700s when the early colonials protested the tax on tea and threw it into the water?One of the main reasons that tea was then shunned by America is the fact that the early Americans fought to gain their independence from Britain,so it made more sense to prefer coffee to the traditional tea drink that came from their home country.In the early years of America, other nations began to export coffee,with America being the biggest importer.

The Original Kerry Chinese Soda

Sacha0606 — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 08:09:04 -0700

by: Sacha0606

Description: First off,most Chinese soda cans/bottles have two sides,one english and the other chinese.Also,the cans have the old pull-tab design where the tab actually comes out.1.Icy Mint Sprite -Icy Mint Sprite finally allowed me to experience the horror of swallowing mouth wash without having to call poison control!2.Sprite on Fire-Take out everything refreshing about Sprite and add two atomic fireballs.(Note: I thought taking a swig of Sprite on Fire followed by Sprite Icy Mint would taste good. It ended up tasting like taking two sips of two horrible sodas.)3.Fanta Orange Icy Mint Blast- Doesn't taste that horrible,just a light orange with a slightly minty aftertast (not nearly as bad as Sprite Icy Mint),but it was still enough to make me gag after 3 sips.Orange soda + Mint? WTF!!!Refuse imitations: only Kerry soda is valuable

In this gallery, pricey fabrics and large hats juxtapose with the harsh conditions of the factories in which the garments were made. Immigrant laborers often worked 14-hour days for less than $2 a day. In 1900, much of the everyday clothing was made at home, but ready made clothing was beginning to be sold in catalogs such as Sears.

Description: The expression,"a woman�s crowning glory" had its origins dating back to the Victorian Period.But ironically,women's hair during this era of romance and feminine mystery was often severely damaged from the relentless use of hot irons.Hair became scorched and often had an unpleasant odor that had to be masked with heavy perfumes.It was not uncommon to have ones hair reduced to a wool-like texture.Hair was never cut except in cases of serious illness.The simplicity of the smooth,center-parted styles worn by women in the Victorian era lasted until the 1870s,when the Parisian hairdresser M.Grateau created a new,natural-looking wave by turning a curling iron upside down.Curly hair was meant to indicate a sweeter temperament,while straight-haired girls were considered reserved or even awkward.A woman's hair was profoundly important to the overall effect she was able to make.Reaching the age when the hair could be put up was a rite of passage in her life,and often there were several interim stages.
